Serious breaches of international humanitarian law and other peremptory norms
of international law,
including genocide, are taking place in Palestine.
These breaches are being committed openly,
have been witnessed underground by thousands of people and have
been viewed on public news services and social media by
probably the majority of the population of the world.
This is the bottom line.
On whatever basis or definition a so-called right of self-defense
is invoked,
it can never serve to justify violations of the norms
of the Genocide Convention or other norms of international Unitarian
law.
Surprisingly, Germany seems not to be able to differentiate between
self-defense and genocide.
Germany cannot invoke that Israel is in some state of
necessity of its assistance for his defense and survival.
In spite of his size and population,
Israel is on the top 10%
of the most militarily powerful countries in the world.
This per capita expense is more than four times larger
than that of Germany.
It is even higher than that of the United States.
There's also a look at the quid pro quo involved.
German companies involved in the military industry are directly profiting
from the situation,
as they have seen their share prices rise since 7:00
October and they have substantially increased the joint development contracts
for weapons with their Israeli counterparts.
